"Sharing the Planet" - December 2021 - Focus Gallery, Arts Underground

Artist Statement

With enough travel, I eventually began to believe in the curvature of the earth.

With the passing of enough time I have become convinced of the ludicrous notion of a planet twirling in pretty much nothingness.

The finite nature of the globe and its clinging gases forces the realization that we are not the only ones relying on this planets limited resources.

We are sharing. It is a concept first learned in kindergarten.

The portion we, as human beings, have taken for ourselves exceeds the worst sandbox bully.

We need to take care. We need to share.

We need a review of the first lessons we were taught at the toy box.

My work in this show (sometimes humorous) is simply a reminder that we, though advantaged, are not the only ones here.
